Have LR 1.3 working on Tiger OS... should I upgrade to Leopard

I recently bought an 20" IMac and was pleased that it came with Tiger installed so I could use LR while waiting for the 1.3 update.
Is anyone using LR with Leopard and are all the features in LR working?
Are all the features involved with Lepard working?
I am real interested in using Leopard's Time Machine application.

Claude,
could you please share the url of these updated drivers (is this the beta drivers for Leopard -- I've not tried that).
I know there has been a great deal of discussion on the topic, but a precise solution to following I've not found:
The Epson SP 3800 driver I downloaded from the Epson site today was labeled as Leopard compatible (though it is not the beta written for the Leopard system) but did not print correctly from LR 1.3 on Leopard (10.5.1). I selected my paper profile for 3800 in LR and turned off printer color management in the print dialog. The exact same printing settings from Tiger in LR 1.2 and 1.3 prints very close to what my calibrated monitor suggests. The print from Leopard was washed out with a magenta cast. So, that url and advice would be most welcome!

I have a 24-inch Mid 2007 iMac. Should I upgrade to Yosemite?

I have a 24-inch Mid 2007 iMac. Should I upgrade to Yosemite? I was advised by genius bar that it would slow down my iMac.

According to sources such as http://mactracker.ca download database specs for
the iMac (24-inch Mid 2007) your computer can use more RAM than it has now.
Maximum Memory: 6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots: 2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM

And so it should work better even if you stay with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5.
The hardware upgrade will help the Mac OS + applications, in basic functions.
[This computer is already considered 'vintage' by Apple...]
Depending on the amount of use the computer has seen so far, it may also be
a candidate for a replacement hard disk drive; perhaps a larger capacity, too.
If you consider an upgrade, also consider a complete backup and a bootable
clone of the current (if updated to 10.8.5 with its applications updated) OS X
on an externally enclosed hard disk drive with its own power supply. You can
see a few of these that do not run on Mac port power, & standalone, at OWC.
{The company known as OWC is macsales.com, a fair example of mac-centric
supplier of quality products for Mac community, awhile. Or so people tell me.}
Clone utilities such as superduper, carboncopy cloner, or disk utility can work.
Test a cloned OS X copy for boot-ability and other function before moving on.
Could be you'd be better off with this computer on Mt Lion than a later OS X.
And a newer later computer should also have hardware specs and some up-
ward expandability for use with the expected new & future changes to OS X.
Hopefully you can get some fair use and more years from your iMac 24".
And that means hope for the best, and plan for the worst. Backup, backup...
Good luck & happy computing!

HT1338 I currently have Snow Leopard and am thinking of upgrading to Lion but have heard some bad things about it. Should I upgrade or not? What do you like/dislike about Lion?

I currently have Snow Leopard and am thinking of upgrading to Lion but have heard some bad things about it. Should I upgrade or not? What do you like/dislike about Lion?

It is indeed all down to what you need to do with your machine.   Snow leopard is an excellent OS and as Baltwo suggests you have to check out your current apps and programs because PPC won't work on any higher OS than the one you have.
Andy's comment is very interesting and, I suspect, insider knowledge based    Certainly I would wait for Mavericks now it is on the horizon ... and then add six months or so for the bugs to be ironed out.
Good luck, whatever you do.   I'm staying with Snow Leopard.

I have a macbook pro 15" retine, late 2013, should i upgrade OS to Yosemite ?

i have a macbook pro 15" retine, late 2013, should i upgrade OS to Yosemite ?

I suggest that you partition your storage and install Yosemite on the new partition and try it out. That way you can revert to the prior OSX if you feel it is not worth it. You also could install it on an external HDD and test it that way.
Ciao.

MB Pro, with Tiger, which has since upgraded to Leopard - Install Discs?

My MacBook Pro had originally been installed with Tiger. I have since upgraded to Leopard.
Should I need to boot from my install discs, which install disc do I use? Will my Tiger install discs work with Leopard, or should I use my Leopard disc (retail version)?
Thank you!

{quote:title=Kappy wrote:}
Actually you would be better to install Leopard directly. You can reinstall pre-bundled software separately without installing Tiger. An Erase and Install of Leopard would be preferable to installing Tiger then upgrading to Leopard. Less chance of a problem.
Hi Kappy,
Some, at least, of the late 2007 MBP C2D 2.2 and 2.4 GHz MBPs (mine included) actually came with Tiger Installed, but with a "drop in" copy of Leopard enclosed in the box. From memory the version of Leopard included will only install if the original software is in place. (I'm not 100% certain of this, but I'll check) Not sure what Trisha's situation is, of course, but worth bearing in mind as a possible issue.
Cheers

I've installed tiger and want to upgrade to leopard

You can buy the install disks for leopard and install them on your computer.

HP Scan doesn't work with HP LaserJet 2840 after upgrade to Leopard

Small bug mucho irritating.
I can't scan documents anymore. The program starts but doesn't give med a scanning window so it's no use at all. The problem is the same on my Intel based MacBook.
Is there a work around? I've seen various solutions by starting the program with rossetta on intel machines but it's not the problem in my case.

Can you elaborate? I'm going through this right now with my HP printer.
It worked fine with Tiger. Worked fine with Leopard when I upgraded. However, when I had to do a complete erase and install of Leopard to try and fix a Mail issue, the scanning no longer worked.
I've escalated with HP and they tell me I am out of luck and can not do scanning (particularly multiple page) to a clean install of Leopard (only if upgraded from Tiger).

I have OS X 10.6.8 Can and should i upgrade to mountain lion?

My wonderful son gave me is MacBook. I am wondering if I can and if I should upgrade to Mountain Lion? I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad 3 and am slowly moving to haveing only Mac Products. I would like them to all work together in the Cloud. What should I do?

Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
We can't tell you what to do. Go to Apple's website and inform yourself of Mountain Lion's features to determine if it would benefit you to upgrade. Upgrading isn't mandatory nor always the best thing to do. If Snow Leopard serves all your needs well, then there is no need to upgrade unless you want certain features that would require upgrading. For example, if you want to use iCloud, then you have to upgrade because iCloud is not available for Snow Leopard.

Just intalled Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. MS Word is now frustrating me. But I have Offioce 2008, so I am guessing I should be upgrading to 2011?

So what that should read is that I have installed ML on my 17 inch MacBookPro and MS Word is acting up. I can't select a paragraph, or move columns. On looking at other forums I read that ML is OK with Office for Mac 2011, but on checking my Word prog, I see it is 2008. I imagine that by updating to 2011, these problems will disappear?
Chris

As macjack says, Office 2008 should work fine with Mountain Lion.
If you're having problems (and it certainly sounds as if you are) you might want to post in the Office for Mac -> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac - users forum.
You might also want to completely uninstall 2008 -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2500821 and then reinstall again.

I have OS X 10.4.8 now. Should I upgrade???

Hi,
I have been hesitant to upgrade my system from Mac OS X 10.4.8 to anything higher because of various system issues in the newer OSs. I know 10.4.9 had issues with sending files over 2MB to a computer running classic as well as various problems concerning Final Cut Pro. Has Mac OS X 10.4.10 solved these issues? Are there any new problems in OS X 10.4.10 I should be aware of?
Thanks,
Video Guy

As for finding out if Final Cut Pro has the issues you are talking about in 10.4.10, I'd ask people in the Final Cut Pro forum who are more likely to have experienced it.
Issues upgrading that most people have are because they don't follow the steps I've written on this FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
Not all are essential, but if you don't backup your data properly, if an issue should happen, downgrading is near impossible to do smoothly. And systems that have small issues may get larger when you upgrade. Only healthy systems should be updated.

I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro without retina, should i upgrade to Mavericks? Or will it run slower?

Hi, I bought a late 2013 MacBook Pro without retina display and I want to know if I should upgrade to mavericks since I don't want to make it slower, is it worth it?

angie.ob,
if your MacBook Pro is non-Retina, then the newest model that it could be is a Mid 2012.
The worth of upgrading to Mavericks depends entirely upon your priorities. What is it about having Mavericks on your MacBook Pro that appeals to you? If Mavericks in its current incarnation makes your MacBook Pro run more slowly, do you have a plan by which you can easily go back to Mountain Lion?

Will a LaCie 20gb PocketDrive work with Tiger??

I have an iMac G4 17" want to upgrade to Tiger. LaCie's site does not provide support/new drivers for this FireWire drive. Can I get it to work with Tiger or should I purchase a new removable drive?
Thanks!
Bill

Hello again Bill,
Just another 2 penneth...
My own drive was on Panther and is now on Tiger. Its a Maxtor, there were some issues when the change came. None serious though. Let me, or any one else for that matter, know via here or via email. Details in my profile.

New apple wireless keyboard doesn't work after upgrade to leopard on mini

I am posting this because I have not seen anybody else post this issue, but it is fixed at this point.
I installed the new apple ultra slim wireless keyboard on my mac mini about a month ago...was working great...until I upgraded to Leopard. The keyboard would connect, and the esc, function, and arrow keys would work great. However, none of the letter, number, or enter keys would work. This was all observed using the 'show keyboard viewer', which is accessible by allowing 'show input menu in menu bar' from the 'international' system preference pane.
I rebooted many times and even updated to the latest leopard patch set.
During this whole time, the wireless mighty mouse has worked without issue.
I removed the device and added several times with no change. I even moved the wireless keyboard to my G5 and it worked great over there.
After a few days of trying various things to no avail, I was finally able to get the keys to work, but I am not sure why. I had a wired keyboard connected and kept going back and forth between the wireless and wired keyboard and all of a sudden it started working. Very strange.

this problem is fixed, but if anybody has an idea what happened, I would like to know.

I've read similar questions and answers, but I am still terrified to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard. The only reason I want to is because I received an iPad which requires an updated system. I have an external hard drive. I have the disks to upgrade

I've read similar questions and have studied the answers, but I am still terrified to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard on my macbook pro. The only reason for doing it is in order to sync my macbook pro with my iPad. I do have an external drive which automatically backs up every hour. BUT.......I am techno-ignorant as well as techno-paranoid. I have the disks to update to snow leopard but knowing doing so may likely change/alter/lose/obliterate my current set-up, it actually makes me feel sick to think of it.
Years ago when updating via Apple Protection Plan tech support, my screen actually went blank, everything gone! The tech told me not to worry, that "we" would be able to restore things, but several hours later I was still looking at a primitive looking screen that wasn't anything like what I had before. His language was too technical, in that there was an assumption I understood things I had zero understanding of. Example: partition my external drive.
Anyway, living hundreds of miles from an Apple service provider, and no Apple techs in my community, I had to wait for a trip to an Apple Store where one of the wonderful guys at the genius bar spent a ton of time getting things back to normal and actually explaining it enough that I had a vague understanding.
So now I am in the predicament again and won't know what to do after installing the new disks and finding a likely mess or absence of documents etc. on my computer. I don't know how to access the external drive, and even if I did I wouldn't know how to move stuff from that to my computer.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm in the same boat as you, I've used Mac's since day one and neglected my Windows education and now it has come to haunt me as I have to learn it like a school kid.
Nearly 99% of all businesses and nearly 95% of everyone use Windows, Steve Jobs declared "The desktop wars are over, Microsoft won" a long time ago.
By 2015 tablets are going to be selling to consumers more than traditional computers, your living proof, you got a iPad.
Apple has already discontinued the Xserver, the Xraid, the MacBooks and the 17" Macbook Pro.
Apple has introduced BootCamp in OS X 10.6 and up, this allows a partition and drivers so one can install Windows on a Mac.
https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Why do you think they named it "BootCamp"
You can't run a older OS X version longterm like you have with 10.5 anymore, Mac's are being targeted for attacks and older OS X versions are dropped for security updates.
In fact your Mac might still be part of the 750,000 Mac strong Flashback botnet or infected.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_BackDoor.Flashback
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/04/how-to-check-forand-get-rid-ofa-mac-flashba ck-infection/
See here, Apple has no security updates for 10.5 users and soon 10.6 is going to be ignored next.
https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1222
1-1.5 years is the OS X upgrade cycle. Change everytime like it or not.
So I'm thinking about your long term future and how you obviously don't like change, need local assistance like it appears you first claimed.
So buy a new Mac and upgrade your OS X version whenever Apple shows it in AppStore.
When your machine can no longer upgrade to the newest OS X version, then you've got about another 2 more years of security updates before you have to buy a new machine or risk running a insecure one.
Learn here how to go about fixing your own machine and creating backups/bootable clones this way your not having to drive several hundred miles for a software or boot drive repair. Simply reverse clone your troubles away.

I'm of the maturity and experience that I know a Mac isn't always the best solution for everyone and even Apple doesn't provide the proper hardware, support or features for everyone. Why only store locations in high traffic ritzy areas?
Our SteveJobs fan here is under 18 years old with good eyes, he's not older like we are with bad or failing eyesight.
The new Mac's have hard to see glossy screens and the type/UI can't be scaled up easily to accomadate our older eyes, however a Windows 7 machine does allow up to 150% scale of the UI, type etc., and also there are anti-glare screen PC's and just about no more anti-glare screen Mac's.
I wrote this User tip in case you have trouble seeing the screen, at least you can scale the web browsing up
Web browsing for hard of seeing users
Apple might still be selling the anti-glare 15" non-retina on their online store, it's the "high resolution/anti-glare model"
But I can get a 17" 1080i HD anti-glare Windows 7 laptop at Sager for a lot more performance and screen size for the price than a Mac.
https://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=category_browse&selected_cat=2
Screen size is important as the UI and text can be scaled up for easier reading.
Of course you do now have the option of having Windows pre-installed alongside OS X to begin your transition to the dark side.
Just call and they will accomondate, hold the option/alt key at boot time to swtich operating systems.

Windows 7 looks just as good as OS X, the secret is having a good monitor with most PC's come with don't.
Good Luck and I hope I've given you a lot to think about.

I have a hdd from late 2009 that I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard to lion to mountain lion. I want to upgrade the hdd to ssd. Do I need to buy a new copy of mountain lion to install on the ssd? If not, then what is the procedure to transfer?

I have a hdd from a late 2009 mbp. I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard to lion to mountain lion. Now I want to upgrade to a ssd. Do I need to purchase a new copy of mountain lion to go on my new ssd? If I don't, then what is the procedure to transfer mountain lion with my 4 user accounts onto the new ssd from the hdd?
I'm confused on if I can use the recovery hd on a thumb drive to install mountain lion on my ssd. Will it be pheasible with so many OS X upgrades? And then how do I get my user accounts onto the ssd from the hdd. Do I use migration assistant? Do I need to make a time machine backup first? Should I use something called Carbon Clone or something like that?
Thanks for reading

If you have a cable that connects and external HDD to the MBP, it will do. If it is something like this, an enclosure will not be needed for the swap:
An enclosure allows you to use your old HDD for storage or backup purposes. The cable will not.
Here are instructions as to how the swap can be performed using DISK UTITY. Substitute You cable for the enclosure in same:
INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MBP
1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
2. You will need a HDD enclosure. One with a USB connection will do. A 9 pin Firewire is better.
3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE. From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field. Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'. Click on the 'Erase' button.
5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top). Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination' field. Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more. A Firewire will speed up the transfer. This will result in both drives having identical information on them.
6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives. Start the MBP and you have finished the installation. The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.
If there is any confusion on your part, post back.
Ciao.
